Setup

Procedure

Step 1

Select Administration > Setup > Authentication Modules.

Step 2

From the drop down arrow, select an authentication module, then click Apply. A 

Configuration dialog box appears for all selections except the Local module.

Step 3

Depending on the authentication module you selected, enter the following data, 

then click Submit:

Radius module or TACACS+ module:

  Primary Server and Secondary Server IP addresses or DNS names of 

the primary and secondary authentication servers. A secondary server is 

optional.

  Shared Secret secret key.

MS NT Domain module:

  Domain name of the Windows domain.

  Primary Domain Controller and Backup Domain Controller names of 

the primary and backup Windows domain controllers. A backup domain 

controller is optional.

After you change the authentication module, you do not have to restart the 

Hosting Solution Engine. Changing the module does not affect users who are 

currently logged on. Users who log on after the change use the new module.

SSL (HTTPS)

Use this option to obtain a permanent, signed certificate. 

SSL (secure socket layer) protocol provides a secure connection between Web 

clients and the Hosting Solution Engine. When you initially set up the Hosting 

Solution Engine, an unsigned certificate and a CSR (Certificate Signed Request) 

are automatically generated and SSL is enabled. The unsigned certificate expires 

in one year.
